Now in small Paperback. Nineteen Seventy-nine is a very personal account of the year Cameron turned 14. It was a year which marked a milestone in her adolescence: she began trying (with a spectacular lack of success) to ask out girls.

Cameron, an impressionable kid, with a vivid fantasy life and a fixation on Elvis, was clearly never going to fit in her hometown, Nineteen Seventy-Nine is a wonderfully fresh and funny account of teenage confusion as experienced by this lesbian-in-waiting, whose innocent declarations of first love were sadly received in general with horror - in one case, with a piercing scream - by the objects of her affection.
